• private.network.device
These should be set to the name of the bridge that the user created for the respective traffic type. For
example:
• public.network.device=publicbondbr0
9.5. Time Synchronization for KVM Hosts
The host must be set to use NTP. All hosts in a pod must have the same time.
1. Log in to the KVM host as root.
2. Install NTP.
# yum install ntp
3. Edit the NTP configuration file to point to your NTP server.
# vi /etc/ntp.conf
Add one or more server lines in this file with the names of the NTP servers you want to use. For
example:
server 0.xenserver.pool.ntp.org
server 1.xenserver.pool.ntp.org
server 2.xenserver.pool.ntp.org
server 3.xenserver.pool.ntp.org
4. Restart the NTP client.
# service ntpd restart
5. Make sure NTP will start again upon reboot.
# chkconfig ntpd on
9.6. Primary Storage Setup for KVM (Optional)
CloudPlatform allows administrators to set up shared Primary Storage that uses iSCSI or fiber
channel. With KVM, the storage is mounted on each host. This is called "SharedMountPoint" storage
and is an alternative to NFS. The storage is based on some clustered file system technology, such as
OCFS2.
Note
The use of the Cluster Logical Volume Manager (CLVM) is not officially supported with
CloudPlatform.
With SharedMountPoint storage:
